An extensive collection of edited papers concerning basic and applied high-pressure biology.

High Pressure Biology II is, in fact, the proceedings to the Fifth International Meeting on High Pressure Biology which was held in St. Petersburg, Russia in July of 1997. This extensive volume (over 60 chapters) provides the reader with an in-depth examination of the latest research being done in hyperbaric biology including: cellular and molecular barobiology, systems and whole organism studies, and mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen. The cosmopolitan nature of the contributions (particularly the papers from numerous Russian scientists) serves to enhance the value of this volume as an important research tool for those working in both high-pressure physiology, as well as basic and applied biology.
